Breville Barista Express Magnetic Tamp Press

thingiverse

UPDATE: This entire press design is woefully inadequate and overall, using my hand proves faster and more effective. I strongly advise against creating this press. I initially wanted to utilize Callum1243's press but with the actual stock tamp, so I designed a magnetic tamp holder utilizing the same mounting hardware. The base arm was extended over 40mm to match the increased tamp height. It might function with the standard base, but it has not been tested. If you test it please let me know if it works so I can post the results here. I printed the raised base, mold mk2, and handle at .2, 80% infill, 4 layers. The mold requires supports. The cover was printed at .2 @ .2, 2 layers. This model employs a magnet to keep the tamp in place just like the machine does. In the model, there is a .8mm layer above the tamp followed by the 5.1mm x 17.8mm magnet inserted to create a snug fit without any gaps. IF YOUR MAGNET DOES NOT CREATE A TIGHT FIT THEN ONLY .8MM OF MATERIAL WILL BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE FORCE FROM THE PRESS. DO NOT attempt to use this press if the magnet well is not filled or it will likely break. The handle can be downloaded through Callum1243's press page. These are the magnets I had available to make this, they need to be at least 2x as powerful, these barely work. https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Hobbies-Industrial-Ceramic-Magnets/dp/B0119B3SQQ
